Optical wireless communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation
media through the use of optical carriers, ie, visible, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) bands …

This article presents an overview of optical wireless (OW) communication systems that
operate both in the short-(personal and indoor systems) and the long-range (outdoor and …

The 2nd Edition of Optical Wireless Communications: System and Channel Modelling with
MATLAB® with additional new materials, is a self-contained volume that provides a concise …

We investigate the performance and design of free-space optical (FSO) communication links
over slow fading channels from an information theory perspective. A statistical model for the …

Atmospheric turbulence induced fading is one of the main impairments affecting free-space
optics (FSO) communications. In recent years, Gamma-Gamma fading has become the …

We explore the potential of combining the advantages of multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO)-based spatial multiplexing with those of orbital angular momentum (OAM) …

In recent studies, the average capacity for optimal rate adaptation (ORA) of free-space
optical channels in turbulent atmosphere has been derived in closed form, mainly based on …

The effects of pointing errors on the performance of a free-space optical laser
communication system are studied. The log-normal and gamma-gamma irradiance …

In recent years, free space optical (FSO) communication has gained significant importance
owing to its unique features: large bandwidth, license free spectrum, high data rate, easy …

Adaptive modulation and coding can provide robust and spectrally efficient transmission
over terrestrial free-space optical channels. Three adaptive modulation schemes are …
